OLGER C. JAGOBSEN, OF BBIGI-IAM, UTAH.

BRACELET.

Application filed August 29, 1914.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, OLGER C. JACOBSEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brigham city, in the county of Boxelder and State of Utah, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bracelets; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to bracelets, and more particularly to a hinge joint especially designed for connecting the parts or sections of a two-part bracelet.

The invention has for its object to provide a joint of improved and simplified construction embodying three essential parts.

Another object is the provision of a joint for a bracelet permitting the parts of the bracelet to be adjusted from time to time to compensate for wear and prevent objectionable loose movement of the parts.

Another object is the provision of a joint for a bracelet permitting the same to be quickly and easily placed in position upon the arm of the wearer and eliminating the danger of the flesh of the wearer becoming pinched while the bracelet is being applied.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and formation of parts as will be hereinafter specifically described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 represents a top plan view of the bracelet, partly broken away. Fig. 2 represents a side elevation of the bracelet, showing the parts or sections partly broken. Fig. 3 represents a perspective view of the joint removed.

Referring to the drawing in detaihwherein similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the numerals 5 and 6 indicate the parts or sections of a bracelet which may be of any shape and design desired, and the ends of which are essentially hollow. A plug or block 7 is soldered or otherwise reliably secured in one end of the part 5 and a plug or block 8 is secured in the corre- Specification' of Letters Patent.

sponding end of the other part 6. The blocks 7 and 8 are shaped conformably with the interior of the parts 5 and 6 and are snugly fitted and. secured therein. Threaded apertures 9 are formed through the blocks 7 and 8 and receive a screw 10 extending longitudinally of the bracelet and constituting the pivotal axis of the parts of the latter. The openings 9 in the blocks 7 and 8' are so arranged as to register when the ends of the parts 5 and 6 are properly put together.

The end of the part 5 opposite that carrying the blocks 7 is provided with a spring catch or fastener 11 adaptedto be removably seated within a suitable keeper (not shown) carried by the adjacent end of the other part 6.

In use, when it is desired to place the bracelet upon the arm of the wearer the ends carrying the parts of the fastener 11 are unlocked and the parts 5 and 6 of the bracelet are swung to open position, as illustrated in Fig. 2, the parts swinging on the screw 10. The bracelet is then placed upon the arm of the wearer and the parts 5 and 6 are subsequently locked. It will be clearly evident that the space between the pivoted ends of the parts 5 and 6 is at notime sufficiently wide to permit the flesh 01" the wearer becoming pinched. therein. The screw 10 is threaded from one end to the other end and is of suficient length to permit the blocks 7 and 8 to be adjusted thereon so as to compensate for loose movement of the parts 5 and 6 due to wear on portions of the thread of the screw.

What I claim is:

A bracelet including two parts, blocks secured in the adjacent ends of said parts and having threaded apertures therethrough, and a screw threaded from end to end adjustably fitted in said threaded apertures and greater in length than the thickness of both of said blocks, permitting the latter t be adjusted longitudinally thereon.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
